Hi,
We have fescue grass and live in the Portland area. We need to spot seed areas where there are holes. The front and backyard are shady Nov through Feb. Which type of fescue would you recommend? There is tall fescue and several other varieties. I attached a screenshot of different varieties of fescue.
Thank you for your response.

Here is a comprehensive guide to lawns in Western Oregon that should help guide you: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/pub/ec-1521-practical-lawn-care-western-oregon
Good luck!
